Benefits The name says it all – this all ‘rounded’ belly full of incredible rainbow foods is not only delicious but hugely powerful! By including colour in your diet you can ensure you’re getting enough fibre, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants to help to protect against illness, bone density loss, digestive problems and weight management. Along with maintaining good health, the nutrients in these raw vegetables and fruits work together to really boost your immune system.
Method You can be the designer of your own ‘buddha bowl’. I start in the middle and one by one fan out each ingredient to create something not only deliciously nutritious, but very pretty on the eye. Sometimes I add extras like grains, chickpeas, falafel or tofu.
